Jon R. Parquette

Jon R. Parquette's research focuses on designing small molecules and peptide-based materials that self-assemble into nanoscale structures, such as nanotubes, nanofibers, and molecular 'bowls' or 'baskets.' A major application area is using these self-assembled nanostructures to bind, deliver, or neutralize drugs and toxic compounds, including cancer chemotherapeutics like methotrexate and camptothecin, as well as amino acid-based materials for managing conditions like diabetes and Alzheimer's disease.

Publication output has fluctuated over the last decade with no clear directional trend, showing periods of higher activity (e.g., 2017, 2020, 2024) interspersed with lower-output years, and averaging under three publications per year over the last five years.
